One that slipped through the cracks Why else would Nicky Henderson run a horse off top weight in a summer jumps race.... Grrrrrrgh, can't believe i missed this one http://horses.sportinglife.com/Racecards/0,12495,394477,00.html
Couple of horses I have backed today just of my own fancies. 3.10 Doncaster Wooten Basset - Looks a really really good horse and is out on its own at 13/8, its 5/1 bar 3.25 Bath Oriental Girl - has won for me before so owes me nothing 9/4 5.25 Doncastor R Woody - Looked good in its last race and although untested at this level, its worth a punt at 8's. I doubled up the first two so if the first one doesnt win, my advice to everyone would be to back the second one casue thats what always happens with my doubles!! Strongly fancy the first one though!
Dirar going in the big race at Doncaster today - I know alot of us didn;t see him down to run at York last timeout so said I;d stick it up here for those interested in the horse
Not a tip or even necesarrily a fancy. Alot of us backed it at Galway and then missed it in the Ebor when it won at a decent price. I;m pretty sure a few pages back a few lads were disappointed they hadn;t seen it down to run so I just said I;d throw it up here.
Ah right ok. I'll be doing a couple of bets today: 4.55 Docaster Willing Foe 9/2 2.15 Sandown Supercharged 9/4 - Strongly fancy this one 6.10 Down Royal Zaralabad 4/1
Hope you don't end up giving yesterdays winnings back. Staying away from the horses now till around the big xmas meetings.
if you've had a bad day's betting, then this should get some quids back for you in the 7.30 at wolverhampton, Makeynn! very short odds, but the horse that finished 3rd to him on debut has even gone on and won since, form franked in a mediocre race! frankly, i haven't done one bet today - did this in a double!
Think the favourite, alfa beat looks great value at 15/2 with Geraghty on his abck in the 4.35 in Listowel. Ruby rides deutschland who has always been a disapointing horse if u ask me and alfa beat has won a lot of races recently. Also quite like the look of another couple of horses today, think I will double up the real article in 17.05 at listowel (he wont be beaten) at 6/4 with 16.40 Sandown Rare tern 7/4 Then also Penitent at 4.05 sandown. Hughes rides him so not murtagh who has run best under but still looks a good bit better than skysurfers to me, also hughes is a class jockey.
